View Quote Jack Dawson: [referring to Cal] Do you love him?
Rose DeWitt Bukater: Pardon me?
Jack Dawson: Do you love him?
Rose DeWitt Bukater: Well, you're being very rude. You shouldn't be asking me this.
Jack Dawson: Well, it's a simple question. Do you love the guy or not?
Rose DeWitt Bukater: This is not a suitable conversation.
Jack Dawson: Why can't you just answer the question?
Rose DeWitt Bukater: This is absurd. I don't know you and you don't know me and we are not having this conversation at all. You are rude and uncouth, and presumptuous, and I am leaving now. [starts shaking Jack's hand] Jack... Mister Dawson, it's been a pleasure. I've sought you out to thank you, and now I have thanked you.

Rose DeWitt Bukater: Right. [still shakes Jack's hand]

Jack Dawson: Oh ho, ho, well well well, now who's being rude?

Ruth DeWitt Bukater: Will the lifeboats be seated according to class. I hope they're not too crowded.
Rose DeWitt Bukater: Oh, mother, shut up! Don't you understand? The water's freezing and there aren't enough boats. Not enough by half. Half the people on this ship are going to die.
Caledon Hockley: Not the better half.
Molly Brown: Come on, Ruth, get in the boat. First-class seats are right up here.
Caledon Hockley: You know, it's a pity I didn't keep that drawing, It'll be worth a lot more by morning.

Rose DeWitt Bukater: I'd rather be his whore than your wife.

View Quote Molly Brown: Hey, uh, who thought of the name Titanic? Was it you, Bruce?
J. Bruce Ismay: Yes, actually. I want to convey sheer size, and size means stability, luxury, and above all, strength.
Rose DeWitt Bukater: Do you know of Dr. Freud, Mr Ismay? His ideas about the male preoccupation with size might be of particular interest to you.
Ruth DeWitt Bukater: [whispering] What's gotten into you?
Rose DeWitt Bukater: Excuse me. [rises and leaves]
Ruth DeWitt Bukater: I do apologize.
Molly Brown: She's a pistol, Cal. Hope you can handle her.
Caledon Hockley: Well, I may have to start minding what she reads from now on, won't I, Mrs. Brown?
J. Bruce Ismay: Freud? Who is he? Is he a passenger?

View Quote Old Rose: [about Jack drawing her naked] My heart was pounding the whole time. It was the most erotic moment of my life. Up until then, at least.

View Quote Old Rose: It's been 84 years...
Brock Lovett: [calmly] It's okay. Just try to remember anything. Anything at all.
Old Rose: Do you want to hear this or not, Mr. Lovett? It's been 84 years, and I can still smell the fresh paint. The china had never been used. The sheets had never been slept in. Titanic was called the Ship of Dreams, and it was. It really was.

View Quote Old Rose: That was the last time Titanic ever saw daylight.
Brock Lovett: So we're up to dusk on the night of the sinking. Six hours to go.
Lewis Bodine: Incredible. There's Smith and he's standing there and he's got the iceberg warning in his ****ing hand, excuse me, his hand, and he ordering more speed.
Brock Lovett: Twenty-six years of experience working against him. He figures anything big enough to sink the ship, they're gonna see in time to turn. The ship's too big with too small a rudder. It doesn't corner worth a damn. Everything he knows is wrong.

View Quote Reginald Lee: God it's bloody cold.
Frederick Fleet: You can smell ice, you know, when it's near.
Reginald Lee: Bollocks.
Frederick Fleet: Well I can all right.
